Dear all,

We are trying to reproduce the results for postnatal care for the newborn in the first two days after birth in Malawi 2015 (table 9.11), Tanzania 2015 (table 9.10) and Zimbabwe 2015 (table 9.10).
Looking at KR dataset version 70, the variable m70 (checkup in 2 months), has a prevalence of 81.2% for Zimbabwe, 42.4% for Malawi, and 34.9% for Tanzania. These values are lower or lightly higher than published result.

Is it possible that countries are not using a standard definition for postnatal care for the newborn in the first two days after birth?
If not, is it possible that the dataset has any problem?
How should we proceed?

Thank you in advance!
